00:00Andrew Philip Blackster is duly elected as member of the Scottish Parliament for Stairwood and Barronow.
00:05Democracy depends on the professionalism and hard work of many people who rarely receive the recognition they deserve
00:12and today we thank them for that service.
00:14Many people told me that I could not win this seat.
00:19Today we proved them wrong.
00:23We showed that hard work, determination and a clear message about fighting for the Heinen's
00:29could give the people of this amazing constituency a genuine choice.
00:34To everyone who has placed their trust in me, whether you voted for me or not, I promise this.
00:40I will work tirelessly to represent every part of this constituency.
00:45I will take that same determination, that same willingness to ask difficult questions
00:51and to stand up for our communities with me to Holyrood.
00:55Because the Highlands deserves a fairer deal.
